Xenetic Biosciences announced that its collaboration partner PeriNess received Israeli MOH/IRB approval to conduct a 12-patient exploratory study combining systemic DNase I with anti-CD19 CAR T cells in LBCL at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center. Positive preclinical data suggested improved CAR T expansion, persistence, and tumor control. The study could yield translational biomarker insights and validate DNase I as a supportive therapy for CAR T regimens.
Approval of a clinical study using Xenetic's DNase platform with CAR T therapy provides a potential pathway to enhanced efficacy signals, which could invite collaboration/licensing talks and raise investor interest, despite the small, early-stage nature of the trial.
Cautiously optimistic near-term; positive translational signals could lift XBIO modestly within 12–24 months.
